The instant New York Times bestseller from the author of the
Newbery Medal book "When You Reach Me" a story about spies, games,
and friendship. Seventh grader Georges moves into a Brooklyn
apartment building and meets Safer, a twelve-year-old
self-appointed spy. Georges becomes Safer's first spy recruit. His
assignment? Tracking the mysterious Mr. X, who lives in the
apartment upstairs. But as Safer becomes more demanding, Georges
starts to wonder: what is a lie, and what is a game? How far is too
far to go for your only friend? Like the dazzling "When You Reach
Me," "Liar & Spy" will keep readers guessing until the
end.
